Well What do you Know asked the young lad ….Reg thought about it and replied with a song……..a kinda doodle from late last night that took over then couldn’t be left……..
Well, What do i Know? (Lyrics)
Somebody asked me well what do i know
What have I learned since the get go
I can’t say I’ve learned too much
Apart from never give people in charge complete trust
Most of the time I just going along with the flow
Do what feels right and i follow my nose
I try not to worry
I just do my own thing
I learn from my mistakes even if I have to I start again
Everything I’ve learned has been through some kind of pain
With out pain there can’t be no gain
God gave us a mind to think
sometimes it will take us up to the brink
Sometimes it will get a little too much
Sometimes it turns us to drink and drugs
Sometimes it makes us look complete mugs
Sometimes we’ll just fuck it up
Be total tools but we have to just suck it up
But I just bounce along with the flow
I do my own thing and i keep down low
I don’t play the rat race not that silly game
You can have your big new cars
You can find your fame
You can keep the things you buy from the bizarre
Cause eventually your gonna have to pay
But Not me I don’t play that way
It’s all cash yeah I pay up front
None of these credit cards there just for mugs
I don’t play with the banks not at their own game
I don’t want debt to eat my mind away
I don’t want to wake up early and worrying everyday
All the things I’ve learnt i told you I learned them the hard way
So I’m keeping my head down low
I’ll be working hard till I get the get go
or you’ll find me in the lost and found
Because Use my mind is gone before they put me in the ground
But I don’t aim to be nobodies fool
I don’t believe what I read in the papers at all
Or what they feed me on the evening news
But I don’t worry I just bounce along
Sitting here making up songs to sing along
I don’t mean to sit and preach
I don’t even mean to try and teach
I just live my life as best I can
Because I’m yeah im nothing but a man
So go live your life as best as you can

Yes, well said! There's a whole bunch of lyrics here, looks like they just flowed - all very naturally. Nice strings too.
